Rats, Mice, and the Real Cost of a Rodent Problem
Rodents are not just a nuisance. They cause serious structural and health-related damage that adds up fast, and Cherry Hills Village homes are not immune to the problem.
What Rats and Mice Actually Do to Your Home
Rats are strong chewers. They gnaw through wood, insulation, and electrical wiring, and damaged wiring is one of the leading causes of house fires attributed to rodents in the United States. They also burrow into wall voids and beneath foundations, which can compromise structural integrity over time. Mice tend to work on a smaller scale, but the damage still adds up. They shred insulation for nesting material, contaminate food storage areas, and leave behind droppings that carry bacteria and pathogens throughout the spaces your family uses every day. According to the CDC, rodents are linked to the spread of more than 35 diseases worldwide. That number alone puts the risk in perspective.
Here is what rodent damage commonly looks like in Colorado homes:
- Chewed electrical wiring inside walls and attics
- Gnawed wood around door frames, baseboards, and structural beams
- Contaminated pantry items and kitchen surfaces
- Shredded insulation used as nesting material
- Burrowing activity beneath concrete slabs and along foundations
Why Professional Treatment Beats Doing It Yourself
Store-bought traps and bait can catch a rodent here and there, but they rarely solve the problem at its source. Rodents reproduce quickly, and by the time you see one, there are almost always more you are not seeing. A professional approach starts with a full inspection of the exterior and interior of the home, which means the treatment actually addresses what is happening rather than what you assume is happening.
Wolfco Pest Control includes rodent control as part of its standard pest control service. Every visit includes an inspection of any rodent equipment already on site, with bait stations refreshed, filled, or repositioned based on what the technician finds. If conditions around the home suggest additional coverage is needed, that gets addressed too. Technicians also flag things like gaps in the exterior that could be sealed to keep rodents from getting back in, which is something a trap from a hardware store will never do.
What comes with every rodent service visit:
- Full exterior inspection before any treatment begins
- Bait, bait stations, and exclusion recommendations as needed
- Equipment repositioned or added based on inspection findings
- Notes on conditions around the home contributing to the issue
- A service summary emailed before the technician leaves your property
If you have questions about how all of this works together, or what to expect from a first visit, there are some helpful answers just ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I handle rodent control on my own?
While DIY rodent control products are available, they are often ineffective for large infestations or in cases where rodents have found safe harborage areas within your home. Professional rodent control is more comprehensive, as it includes inspection, exclusion, and long-term monitoring to prevent future infestations.
What are the signs of a rodent infestation?
- Droppings: Small, dark droppings near food sources, entry points, or in hidden areas.
- Gnaw marks: Evidence of chewing on wires, furniture, food packaging, or insulation.
- Nesting material: Rodents will gather soft materials like fabric, paper, and insulation to create nests.
- Sounds: Scratching, scurrying, or squeaking noises, especially at night.
- Odor: A musty or urine-like smell, often indicating an active infestation
What kind of damage can rodents cause?
Rodents, especially rats and mice, have a strong instinct to chew. They can gnaw through various materials to gain access to shelter, including:
- Wood: Rodents can chew on wooden beams, walls, and floors, weakening the structural integrity of your home.
- Drywall: Mice and rats can chew through drywall, causing holes and exposing insulation.
- Insulation: Rodents often chew through insulation, leaving areas exposed and reducing your home's energy efficiency.
- Pipes and Wires: Rodents frequently chew on electrical wires, which can cause short circuits, electrical fires, or power outages. They can also damage water pipes and gas lines, leading to leaks and increased risk of water damage or gas hazards.
Rodents can damage personal items by chewing or nesting in them, such as furniture, clothing, books, and electronics.
